No, it is not "second time". They should have levied a tax for whatever it was they spent those borrowed dollars on. OR they could have borrowed that money from a third party to begin with. We're talking about SS as it exists under current law, not what should have or could have been done. Suppose you made a payment to a contractor to add a room to your house. A few months later he comes back to you and says he spent the money on a Hawaiian vacation, but all you have to do is give him some more cash and he'll get right with it. I'm sure you'd have no objections. Nope. You have a contract. The contractor has to borrow the money from somewhere else to finish your job - you do NOT have to give him more cash, and he DOES have to finish the work. Perhaps you're some sort of sucker who would give the contractor more money, but in the Real World, real people call their lawyers. A more apt analogy would be the contractor going to my kids and demanding they replace the money he had already spent. And the same legal situation holds - the contractor is still responsible. You can use a bank anology too - SS puts surplus funds into the bank, the bank MUST allow SS to withdraw those funds when it needs/wants to. Do you really believe that the government has surplus funds to put into SS? Federal taxes and SS taxes are paid to the government with one check. The money actually goes to where ever it is needed the most but owes countless debtors including the SS division. There is no surplus when your owe more than your income. I think it is pretty common knowledge that the government prints extra money to pay its debts, umteen trillion now, and as a result we see the dollar buy less and less. |

As I clearly stated earlier: by virtue of the Supreme Court decision in 'Flemming v. Nestor', SCOTUS clearly states, among other things with regard to SS, that ***there is no contractual agreement between taxpayer and government***. Because the government operates "above the law" it does not need no stink'n contract. |

The problem is that through all the smoke and mirrors bookkeeping, SS trust funds have been used to offset the deficit spending. So if you remove SS fund from the equation, you are now more indebt being an American. |

Would you please name one or two, so I can understand who you're referring to? I also doubt that prison road gangs ended to line the pockets of government contractors. Do you have any evidence of that? I rather suspect the real reason was a combination of its resemblance to slavery, the cruel way it was often implemented, the risk of escapes, people's increasing distaste at seeing people, even convicts, treated that way, and civil rights lawsuits both real and threatened. |

These days the max is 25 hours/week to avoid paying benifits. Try getting hired at a big box store. Lew |

There is no surplus when your owe more than your income. ----------- For the Last Time, the Social Security Trust Fund Is Real For the last time, the only thing in the "Social Security Trust Fund" is a gigantic IOU that can be canceled at the whim of Congress. You are not owed a damned thing but your children (scary thought) will certainly pay. Now, suppose this surplus had been invested in corporate bonds. What exactly would that mean? It means that workers would be giving money to corporations, who would turn around and spend it. In return, the Social Security trust fund would receive bonds that represent promises to repay the money later out of the company's cash flow. In effect, it gives workers a claim on the cash flows of the company at a later date in time. When that time comes, the company would have to pay up, which would make it less profitable. If the company was already unprofitable, it would make their deficit even worse. You're more clueless than even I had suspected. more drivel snipped |

The bonds purchased by the Trust Fund, however, ARE binding contracts. Just as *you* would have a binding contract for any Treasury Bills that you purchased. Bull****. The trust find can evaporate at the whim of Congress. The money in the "trust fund" is *not* owed to you. You have no legal claim on it. It's complete fiction. You're wrong ... keep digging your hole. You're missinterpreting - why? No, he's got you nailed. |

That's probably the way lefties see the world but to the prisoners, a chance to get outside the prison walls is well worth the work involved and it does pay - something. They're not called "trustees" for nothing. If they escape they'll never see the outside world again (most are murders, IIRC). |

So your claim IS bull****. ------------ The 80-Year Conservative War On Social Security Is Back For More Social Security, in more ways than one the mother of all U.S. entitlement programs, has been the dragon that conservatives have succeeded in slashing, but never slaying, over its 80-year history. Their opposition has morphed from outright ideological grounds as the program was being debated during the New Deal era to a campaign masked in careful rhetoric once Social Security became virtually untouchable as a political animal. But the program has never been perceived by the left as an existential threat the way it has been by many on the right. To understand where conservatives are now, you have to understand how they got there. The following is derived in large part from "The Battle for Social Security," authored by Social Security Works's co-director Nancy Altman, and TPM's own consultations with other experts on the program. http://tinyurl.com/jw3r7zs See also: http://tinyurl.com/ntu5sva I looked at both sites. There's still not a shred of evidence on any of them that "the right-wing has been trying to cancel SS for over 50 years." That's strikes one, two, three, and four. You're OUT! |
